Lette/rs Patent No. 92,534, dated July 13,

IMPROVEMENT coMBrNED COLLAR AND Heli/Itis.'

The Schedule referredto in these Letters Patent and making p'art of the iaarne.

To all whom it may concern:

I being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which lFigure l is 'a front view of my improved collar and llames, parts being broken away, to show the construction. 4

. Figure 2 is a lower end view of the same, partly in section, to show the construction.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

`My invention' has for its object to siulplifyand l cheapen the construction of harness-collars and haines,

and at the same time make them more convenient and cective in use; and.

It consists in forming a longitudinal groove or recess on the under sides ofthe haines, along their inner' edges, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the collar, which is made without a llame-rims, and is securely nailed to the llames B, as shown in gs. 1 and 2, said nailing being done in a longitudinal groovelor recess along the inner edges of said hames and collar, as shown in figs. 1 and 2.

'llie collar and hames are left open at both ends, and are connected, attheir upperl ends, by straps, C, in the ordinary manner. l

The lower ends of the parts of the collar and haines `are made square, to t u pon each other, may be faced with metal, and maybe provided with a dowel-pin attached' to the end of one part', and' enteii ng a hole in'.

the other part, as shown in iig.' 1.-

A.D li's a hook, or bent lever, whichis pivotedftoajf;

staple, attached to one of the `haines B, near its lower end. i

v In securing the-'combined cdllar and haines tothe:4 horsesneck, the free end of v the hook-leverD is passed through a linkv or ring, E, pivoted tothe end off-the i other hame, and is then turned back and passed through the ring F, sliding uponla long staple, G, attachedto the same hame-that the lever D is pivotedto, as showin l in'gs. l and 2.

The fast' ning D E F G is strong, simple, easily fastened and unfaste'ned, and cannot become 'acciden tally 'unfastened vwhile i'n use.

By l constructing the collar and. haines permanently attached to each other iuthis way,'no.harnesrim'is re-A quired to be made upon the collar, thus saving a large amount -of stock and labor' in their manufacture, land consequently greatly diminishing the cost ot'- construction, while, at the same time, they are more convenient in use, being more readily placed upon and removed from the horse.

I claim as new, and desire to secure. by Letters Patent I The groove' or recess a, formed on the underside and along theinner edges .ofthe haines B'B, one side of the collar A being secured therein, and theother attached to the dat under surface of said haines, as and for the purpose specified.
